Aloha,
I am 3 days in & need to loose 50 lbs (following an illness w/ 50 lbs of meds weight gain) doing the 5+1.
I have cut back my workouts by about 3/4, hence my getting up so early, which I look forward to. Additionally, being 3 days in, I havent seemed to be bothered by still working out --- of course with the 3/4 cut back ...
